In an upcoming CL, socket option types are made to implement a marker interface with pointer receivers. Since this results in calling methods of an interface with a pointer, we incur an allocation when attempting to get an Endpoint's last error with the current implementation. When calling the method of an interface, the compiler is unable to determine what the interface implementation does with the pointer (since calling a method on an interface uses virtual dispatch at runtime so the compiler does not know what the interface method will do) so it allocates on the heap to be safe incase an implementation continues to hold the pointer after the functioon returns (the reference escapes the scope of the object). In the example below, the compiler does not know what b.foo does with the reference to a it allocates a on the heap as the reference to a may escape the scope of a. ``` var a int var b someInterface b.foo(&a) ``` This change removes the opportunity for that allocation.
